Then there must be a problem with the firewall.... I've never had to open ports for NTP and no routers do either that I am aware of.
Well not according to this: <http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Support/TroubleshootingNTP>
Suture self..... I can find no reference to port 123 in my router setup nor in the shorewall setup I used to run.
Yet ntp is working fine.
How do you test it to make sure it's properly connected? I opened a shell (system has been rebooted between the last time and now) and
linux:/home/Mike # /etc/init.d/ntp status Checking for network time protocol daemon (NTPD): running
Can I assume that this means everything is working all right? This is today's entry from /var/log/ntp:
28 Nov 00:46:11 ntpd[4865]: ntpd exiting on signal 15 28 Nov 07:19:56 ntpd[4884]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 28 Nov 07:19:56 ntpd[4884]: kernel time sync disabled 0041 28 Nov 07:21:00 ntpd[4884]: kernel time sync enabled 0001 28 Nov 07:22:06 ntpd[4884]: synchronized to 199.212.17.20, stratum 2
That's good news.
